    FYI my MinePeon miner died at 00:00 again last night.  I fixed it this morning by stopping and starting cgminer.

    There are a pile of checks etc that it does then as well as reloading of cgminer, while it is not the cause of your problems because it works fine for most everyone else something in those checks is tripping the problem.  I will be investigating.

    Possibly related: I started having USB hub issues.

    I am almost positive that your hubs will be the issue, it turns out that it was a hub that caused mine.

    I have three powered hubs:
    Targus 7-Port USB Powered Hub (bought from Noel Leeming) - Output 5V, 3A, so can only connect 6 ASICMINER Block Erupters to it, which I was doing.
    2x Dick Smith 7-Port USB Powered Hub - Output 5V, 2A, so can only connect 4 Erupters to a hub, I'm only connecting 3.

    I tried one of those targus's and it blew for me almost instantly.  I have not used that Dick Smith hub but I do use;-

    http://www.dicksmith.co.nz/accessories/dick-smith-13-port-usb-hub-dsnz-xh1237

    with up to 8 devices plugged into it and it seems to work fine.

    Is it dangerous to hot plug Erupters? 

    It should not be, I think your hub may have already been on the way out.

    Can someone please recommend a high-quality powered USB hub for use with MinePeon Raspberry Pi?  Something that I can either buy in New Zealand, or can ship to NZ?

    I would be interested in this as well, now that kano confirms that USB3 works with MinePeon I am hunting again to see what I can find.
